Giants signed 1B Chris Marrero to a minor league contract.

Marrero last saw a major league at-bat back in 2013, with the Nationals. In 2016, while playing at Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox system, the former first-round pick hit .284/.344/.494 with 23 homers and 71 RBI over 490 at-bats. Now 28 years old, it is looking increasingly unlikely that he will be able to carve out a legitimate role at the major league level. Time still remaining on that career, though, time still remaining.

Red Sox minor league 1B Chris Marrero took home MVP honors in Wednesday's Triple-A All-Star Game by leading the International League to a 4-2 win over the Pacific Coast League.

He put the IL ahead 4-2 by belting a solo shot in the eighth inning off Iowa right-hander Armando Rivero. Marrero has had a heck of a week. The Pawtucket first baseman won the Triple-A Home Run Derby with a monster performance on Monday night and was named International League Player of the Week after hitting .577 with eight runs and a 1.154 slugging percentage between July 4 and July 10. A first-round pick in 2006, Marrero hasn't played in the majors since 2013. Jul 14 - 2:36 PM

Red Sox minor league 1B Chris Marrero won the Triple-A Home Run Derby Monday night in Charlotte.

He took the title by out-slugging Reno outfielder Kyle Jensen in the final round. Marrero has ripped 16 blasts for Triple-A Pawtucket this year, which ranks second in the International League. The 28-year-old isn't really a prospect at this point—he made his big league debut with Washington five years ago—but he's done nice work this year with a .297 average in 84 contests.

It's not clear whether he's been given a big league invitation to spring training. Marrero hit .271/.316/.420 with seven homers over 282 plate appearances between Double- and Triple-A with the White Sox and Red Sox in 2015. Mon, Nov 9, 2015 08:40:00 PM
